Chapter 2 of Beyond The Clouds by Treasure Marie Denise Jackson
We shall now call the angel named Grace a new name: "Hatred."
Hatred chose to go to Tia's producers and, despite God warning him not to many, many times, Hatred let his anger get the better of him.
Hatred convinced them to hook her up with Ighli as a co-worker. Ighli was a Playboy rapper. He tends to commit adultery with men's wives. He has been brutally attacked for this on the news.
Her two producers, Mia & Markus, innocently went to Tia.
Her producer, Mia, a Cherokee, told her to "Darlin', consider a collaboration with Ighli. He's makin' waves, and we've got a feelin' his style would mesh beautifully with the song you're crafting."
Markus, an Apache, said in his typical cowboy accent, "Folks sure do eat that up, partner."
Tia asked, "I just want to make sure you've thought this through. You see, when my fellow Christians, who make up a significant part of my audience, catch wind of me collaborating with someone who doesn't share our faith, let alone an artist who identifies as an atheist, it could potentially lead to me being ostracized within our community."
When someone in Hollywood is blackballed, they aren't allowed to be hired by anyone in Hollywood. Hollywood will not blackball her, but sometimes non-Christian Hollywood will blackball you if you get involved with Christian things. Ighli is more at risk of being blackballed than Tia.
Mia says "Alright, Honey, let's consider workin' on a Christian tune instead." Markus nodded. Tia thought it would work, so she nodded. "Okay, he's good. I'll go for it," said Tia, agreeing to sing with Ighli.
Three months of prepping for the show later.
Ighli shows no romantic interest in Tia, but he is actively flirting with the makeup artists, Cece and Mimi. After a rehearsal for the upcoming show, Tia and Ighli cross paths as they head to their respective dressing rooms. Just before this encounter, Hatred had attracted 34 paparazzi who rushed to capture a photo of them as swiftly as they could.
Tia walked into her dressing room, paying no attention to Ighli. In the adjacent dressing room, Ighli shared a passionate kiss with a French makeup artist named Tonya, who then departed to let Ighli assist himself with his costume.
Meanwhile, Tia donned a white dress, and a skilled seamstress named Emma, who happened to be a black woman, meticulously attached large, faux angel wings to the back of her dress.
Meanwhile, the paparazzi woman, Sky, proceeded to send her photos to her boss, Mariah. Hatred was present, having trailed Sky to the location.
Mariah instructed Sky, saying, "Let's add some spice to it, claim they were on a date. She's separated and a devout Christian, which should make it a tantalizing gossip piece." Hatred coerced Sky to comply with the deception.
Although the tabloids were aware of the truth, they propagated the false narrative about Tia under Hatred's influence. Following her captivating performance, the fabricated story was published and spread rapidly, as is the nature of sensationalized rumors.
Jason misinterpreted a false report claiming that Tia was on a date with the Chinese Rapper, Ighli, despite never having been involved romantically. In reality, Tia was merely passing by Ighli in the photograph.
Driven by his abusive tendencies, Jason employed a hacker to locate Tia, stalked her to her apartment, and subsequently intruded into her home, subjecting her to a violent assault that tragically resulted in Tia's death.
God, in His wrath, cast out Hatred, previously known as Grace, for his malevolence and foolishness, condemning him to never return to Heaven and renaming him Hatred due to the enmity he aroused from a cruel abuser.
As God, also known as Jesus Christ, enacted divine justice, He ensured that Jason received a prison sentence for Tia's murder. Jesus Christ aided the detectives to the fullest extent in His anger against Jason, and God, in His fury, directed the judge to hand down a life sentence. No lawyer could shield Jason from God's divine retribution.
Upon seeing the headline of Tia's death in the news and Jason's confession, Sky took to the media to confess, "The tabloids spread falsehoods."
Inside Sky's home, Sky sat on the couch beside a Caucasian news anchor named Carly.
"I am Sky. My lie in the paper was detrimental. We screwed up. I should never have let my boss publish that. Jason murdered Tia. I just realized I lied about a real woman, not just an icon on a TV screen, a natural person like you and me with feelings. To me, Tia was just another stuck-up celebrity with some sob story; I had no idea her abuse story was real. I had no idea her abuse story wasn't just put out for attention. My adoptive mother never told me about it.
Then, when I heard about the police calls in his trial, I cried because of how insensitive I was. I had spent so much time seeing her as a fictional being, an untouchable human, a fake person who never showed her true self; I ignored all the times she tried to tell us.
I didn't care about celebrities; I was in a mental state where if a celebrity I didn't know had died, I'd think, 'I don't listen to her music; why should I care?' I was just like everyone else.
I was actually like that the first time I heard of her death from my friend, Melinda; without knowing it was Tia, I was like, 'So?' I had no idea Tia was murdered, though. When another woman, Maria Delgado, who wasn't famous, got murdered, I was infuriated at the murderer, her husband.
I felt so guilty when I found out Tia was murdered; then I felt even worse when I found out why. We faked the magazine cover. Tia never dated Ighli," Said Sky.
Carly, true to her role as an interviewer, maintained an unflinching poker face throughout, though she was deeply shocked by the situation; Carly was appalled.
After the report, Sky stayed in the house for five months. Luckily for Sky, Sky had requested her face be blurred in the news report, so she is anonymous, with her voice made undetectable in the news. Sky even asked for her name to be bleeped out during the segment.
Sky lost her job due to her absence from work. Sky is known as "The whistle-blower."
Upon departing from her home, Sky encountered a man she held profound affection for, Gabriel, a potent and revered prophet of God who also served as an exceptional Spirit Officer. Spirit Officers are law enforcement personnel tasked with safeguarding individuals from malevolent demonic influences.
Sky was obsessed with him, and they married and had a baby girl named Feather. Sky loved Feather so much that she chose to spiritually bind Feather's soul to her adoptive mother's spirit. No one knew that it would come at an awesome Price...
